Are you guys still trading? Seems ages since there has been an update to the webpage. Have bought stuff on a few occasions and all good.

Thanks

It's a “curious” world we live in. You do everything you can and you do it well until you need a rest. Then after some time you turn around and see that what was once best has become some form of hell. Meaning? Meaning one day you were looking down unaffectedly, the next you were looking on disgustingly, and now suddenly - perhaps? - you are back looking in excitedly.

But one never knows what will be at the bottom of a rabbit hole until one actually arrives there. What we do know is that women makes us curious, but wives are very much just curiouser. And curiouser. And we also know that whereof gentlemen cannot speak, gentlemen must remain silent. (For now. But they can also remain hopeful!)

No doubt, good friends, you will have guessed by now at the meaning of this riddle and know that it will be unraveled in good time.

“Curiouser and curiouser!” Cried Alice (she was so much surprised, that for the moment she quite forgot how to speak good English).

This is just a quick note to anyone waiting on a refund that they will be completed today.

Regarding updates, we currently don't have any staff to answer emails in English, but we're working normally behind the scenes, sending orders every day as we always have.

We have to apologize to our customers for any delays now. Unfortunately, the previous customer service personwas incredibly irresponsible and ran off without any notice at all after questioned about hours worked. We found he had secretly cut his hours in half, no longer doing the evening and weekend hours which he had requestedto collect full-time pay. That was hidden from the company while we kept asking about problems recurring with customer service. As well, we found a big mess to decipher with orders sent but not marked, orders not sent but marked, orders left hanging for months for no reason at all while doing nothing about requests, customer emails deleted unanswered in the email trash, etc., etc., etc.

We mention that so you understand we have had a lot to do and that has caused some delays. If you walked into the shop, or if you phoned and spoke Vietnamese, that's OK but just not in English right now, sorry. Updates within your account onsite are actually sent in Vietnamese, so those are followed by staff no problem.

Years ago we asked the ModernVespa forum admin to stop attacking scooterists who praised our Lambretta and Vespa parts there, the parts we actually make, and to stop making up stories about our company and parts even though no knowledge of them. The usual line of attack started with how we were secretly posting every compliment, then onto the typical silly comments about an Asian sweatshop with chickens running around. Then often lock a thread so no one else can reply and confirm that's crazy because they actually use the part in question as well. We said just let everyone post freely, positive or negative, so that rational debate can help everyone determine over time what's actually good or not. Wild concept called, uhhh, "free speech".

Well, turned out the admin there was just a wee bit sensitive - Jess? Jesse? something - and not much of a fan of fee speech, or even honest speech as it turned out :) Instead of the natural "Cool, that sounds great!" response you would get from most any forum, he completely banned our name there and replaced it with "redacted", then lied and told everyone we had threatened to sue him in order to stifle debate, which was quite rich given it was the exact opposite, especailly after he claimed that and we even offered to send him a document guaranteeing he would never be held responsible for anyone else's comments as long as he let people post freely. But, damn it! even if it means subverting debate, no one was going to tell him to be reasonable! Or honest about it! :))) (It's funny seeing on there people explaining that the "redacted" thing is because we wanted to sue him when it was exactly the opposite. Doesn't anyone ever ask for proof anymore?)

Anyway, we just saw a post come up by chance in a search and see that that's still a thing with our name too. Wow. And seems a number of other companies are also now "redacted". How bizarre that those in charge of promoting debate in general are the lead advocates of censorship if "their" debate doesn't have the results they want? "You're not supposed to buy scooter parts in Vietnam and actually find that they are good, and half the price of those imported by forum sponsors! And then dare to tell your friends!" Sacrilege :)
